before taking it, i would start to lose focus around 10.30 in the morning... not get shit done until lunch, after lunch i was good for a few hours, but by 3 or 330 i started glancing at the clock on the wall, and would do that every 10 or 15 minutes and wonder why time was going so slow.

after taking adderall my work life was amazing, and i was the best employee i had ever been... and that was the good part.

the bad part slowly built and built until i had to get off the drug all together

yes, it is addictive and i started taking more than i should have, and eventually got to where i was typically taking more than i should in a day, and sometimes even crushing up a pill to make sure i got the "most" out of it

i got to where i was only sleeping about 4 hours a day, which is ok once in a while, but pull that shit for 6 or 7 months straight and you will start to notice some problems.

if you want to lose some weight, its awesome. i went from 190 to 150 in the matter of about 12 months.. you just will not want to eat on the drug


basically... if you can use it in moderation it will be good thing, but if you have any sort of addictive personality you want to be careful, and for god sake be sure that you force yourself to eat as much as possible, and never take it at night

and while that all may sound a bit drastic, and im sure that a lot of people can handle it effectively, if you search online you will find that people with my experience far outweigh people that have normal experiences on it

i havent eaten a pill in about 6 years, but i still find myself thinking about it, and occassionally considering to just order some online, but i have not. that shit can be evil if you let it, but if you have control over it, it will help you

just be careful

really interesting stuff there. thanks for posting that.
